Abstract:
Objective:To understand the awareness, current or past behavior on electronic cigarette smoking (ECS) and associated factors, among adults aged ≥15 years old in Shandong province. Relationship between ECS and cessation of smoking was also studied.Methods:Using the global standard questionnaire, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 6 401 adults selected by stratified multi-stage cluster sample method. Electronic data was collected by handheld computer. Data were weighted and analyzed by SPSS 19.0 complex program.Results:The prevalence rates of awareness, ever or current smoking of e-cigarettes appeared as 37.6 %, 3.8 % and 0.6 % respectively. Data from logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for ECS were living in urban area, at younger age, being current or former cigarettes smoker and with knowledge on the risks of smoking or being encouraged to stop smoking. Among the electronic cigarettes smokers, those who tried to quit smoking (30.1 %) had a significantly higher rate than that of the non-smokers (19.5 %) ( P<0.05), however, the successful quitting rate was much lower than that in the non-ECS users ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Rates on the awareness and uptake of electronic cigarettes are on the rise. It is necessary to strengthen and standardize the monitoring programs to provide evidence for setting up targeting intervention strategies.
